In it, Charleston Gazette reports that:

Summers County High School has been named by the West Virginia Department of Education as a "priority school." To receive federal Title I funds, the department is required to have a plan to increase test scores.

I disagree the West Test is a test to see if the children are being taught anything. Our school systems today need to test and evaluate the management and teachers not the students. You have to have a foundation to build a house and our students are not getting that foundation. The teachers teach the West Test not the basics that children need to build on. I would like to know what kind of future there is out there for our WEST TEST educated children.
